Klappentext
'The revival of the great Lucia Berlin continues apace' New York Times
'A jigsaw-puzzle portrait of a long-neglected literary legend, baring the autobiographical material that filtered so forcefully into her fiction' Vogue
Best known for her short fiction, it was upon publication of A Manual for Cleaning Women in 2015 that Lucia Berlin's status as a great American writer was widely celebrated. To populate her stories - the places, relationships, the sentiments - Berlin often drew on her own rich, itinerant life.
Before Berlin died, she was working on a book of previously unpublished autobiographical sketches called Welcome Home . The work consisted of more than twenty chapters that started in 1936 in Alaska and ended (prematurely) in 1966 in southern Mexico. In our publication of Welcome Home , her son Jeff Berlin is filling in the gaps with letters from, and photos of, friends and lovers drawn from her eventful, romantic, and tragic life.
'[Berlin] writes candidly about what she enjoyed and endured . . . Whether describing lucky breaks or hard knocks, her prose is intense and intimate, at once disconcerting and entrancing' The Economist
'This never-before-published memoir [is] cause for jubilation' Boston Globe
